What was the brief?
The Pretzhof in Gasteig is a mixed-use building in the immediate vicinity of Sterzing. It comprises a slaughter house, rooms for further processing of the meat, a large wine store, a bistro, a shop for the in-house products and an excellent selection of wines, several offices and a flat.
What were the key challenges?
The biggest challenge was to get the different areas under one roof, as they are very different services.
What materials did you choose and why?
The distinctive dark structure was clad with a vertical wooden shell made of brushed and burnt boards of larch. This gives the building a very homogeneous appearance and is reminiscent of a function carried out inside: the traditional curing of the "Speck".
The dark colour is also found inside the building on the black acoustic ceiling. Wooden furniture in the shop and bistro provides a contrast to the dark special tiles on the walls, which emphasise the artisanal character of the use.
